Showcasing the Work

At Mimosa ES, TAG teacher Lynn Early had fourth grade students working at all stages of a project and with multiple tools. The first picture shows students creating a Thinglink to take their paper poster and make it digital. See the final result here! The center photo shows students actively researching information for their Native American projects, while the third photo shares a student beginning a Show What You Know through Educreations. For questions about these projects, contact Lynn at earlyl@fultonschools.org.

Congratulations!

Welcome to the Family!

Instructional Technology Coach for Mimosa, Amanda Rudolph, and her husband have been working to adopt for about a year and a half. They have been matched with a 2 year old boy who has finally moved in! They will share his name and pictures once the adoption is finalized in the spring, but if you'd like to see him, you can e-mail her privately!
